If you want to get a small web application running quickly on the GlassFish V3 application server using the Eclipse IDE, follow the instructions in this tutorial.

This basic example details how to use Eclipse to run/debug a minimum J2EE 5/6 web application servlet using [http://www.eclipselink.org EclipseLink JPA] as the persistence provider. The goal of this example is to detail the minimum steps needed to run EclipseLink inside GlassFish V3 using the Eclipse IDE - at this point no presentation/controller layer such as JSF, Spring or Struts will be used beyond a basic HttpServlet so we can concentrate on the the integration layer JPA setup.

The [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Dali DALI] project was used to generate Entities from a schema with sequences already populated.

If you want to get a small web application running quickly on GlassFish - the services provided by the '''Web Tools Project''' pluggin in the '''Eclipse IDE''' can take care of the deployment details and set the server into debug mode for you.

*Currently the '''"Download additional server adapters"''' link on the ''"New Server"'' dialog will not work with Eclipse 3.5 - '''Use the "Help | Install New Software" menu instead ''' via the https://ajax.dev.java.net/eclipse/site.xml update site to get version 32+ of the plugin that is compatible with Galileo.

**You may refer to the details of Eclipse Bug # [http://bugs.eclipse.org/280365 280365].

<!--*It is recommended that you install the GlassFish V3 Prelude version and use the latest 1.0.9+ V3 SNAPSHOT Eclipse 3.4 Server plugin to run/debug the prelude server.

+

*Using the GlassFish V3 Prelude install - we select the SNAPSHOT version of the plugin after using "Download Additional Server Adapters" to get a 1.0.9 GlassFish plugin or later.

*The EclipseLink modules ship as 5 separate jars in the standard modules directory (Note EclipseLink SDO and JAXB are precluded by the libraries shipped with GlassFish - the milestone version is from the JPA 2.0 trunk branch.

*javax.persistence.jar ships with GlassFish in the standard ''modules'' directory.

*However, A workaround is to use the snapshot plugin which matches with the jar names in Prelude except for a missing javax.management.j2ee-10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar which you can stub, get from another server or create from the tp2 javax.javaee-10.0-tp-2-SNAPSHOT.jar
